Inspiration: Steve Jobs’ 2005 Stanford Commencement Address

This 2005 Commencement Speech by Steve Jobs is incredibly inspiring to me.  His first story is about how we can’t connect the dots looking forward, only when looking back.  So we have to trust that the dots will always connect in the future.  The second story is about the importance of following your heart, doing what you love and seeing the opportunities that come out of loss.  And finally, he says to always remember that you are going to die.  “Have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.  They somehow already know what you truly want to become.  Everything else is secondary.”
